Siberian Iris and easy to start from seed. I have 'Caesar's Brothers'
getting ready to bloom. Third season this year after seeding. This year
started a white form hmmm have to look again which one it is. They do well
with afternoon sun from 2 PM until evening with shade the rest of the day,
where they are planted now. They performed well in the old garden with
morning sun/afternoon shade. The grass like foliage looks good during the
growing season and they can take some wet feet. This year was really a test
with our over-abundance of rain last  winter and this spring.
-Deb TT waiting for spring which is predicted to start July 15 in the
Northwest.
